My name is Lindsay Dyck, I am a graduate with honours from the Edison Institute of Nutrition and a member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutrition Practitioners (CANNP), granting me the designation of Natural Nutrition-Clinical Practitioner, NNCP. I am passionate about all things related to health and well-being and I take pride in being a lifelong learner. I love relationship building and opportunities that allow me to truly connect with individuals in inspiring and meaningful ways. My desire is to educate, empower, and encourage individuals toward joy, vibrant health, and overall well-being.
I believe everyone has a unique story and journey, and I am no different. I’ve zig-zagged, up’d and downed, changed, learned, fallen and grown my way through various and diverse life experiences, all of which, I feel, have contributed to my being exactly where I need to be right now.
As it relates to my health, I spent the majority of my 20s feeling less than optimal and unwell, mentally and physically. A Celiac diagnosis in 2012 finally helped to bring relief and answers, in addition to providing the fuel toward a more focused pursuit of health restoration. Through my delving deep into the world of holistic health and wellness and benefiting from working in a natural health store I was able to restore my health and vitality, granting me a new lease on life as I entered my 30s.
I experienced an improvement in energy levels, focus and clarity, the alleviation of brain fog, improvement in anxiety, tempered mood swings, a normalized menstrual cycle, alleviated body aches and feelings of sluggishness, significant improvement in an array of disruptive and problematic digestive issues including bloating, malabsorption, and frequent washroom visits, and even a halt to persistent UTI infections and allergies.
This experience, combined with my desire to help others, led me to pursue nutritional studies at an academic level, enrolling into Edison Institute of Nutrition’s Holistic Nutrition diploma program in 2019. To me, an understanding of diet, and food as the fuel for our bodies, is foundational and paramount in pursuing health. This was the natural next step in my continued learning quest.
